Description
The Mrs English Chardonnay comes from a hand harvested, single vineyard in the Jonkershoek Valley, Stellenbosch. Complex and rich on the palate yet retainign important freshness, this is impeccably balanced and a wine that will give drinking pleaseure for several years following the vintage.
The grapes were picked at 22.5-23° Balling, with whole bunches crushed without prior destemming to ensure a prominent fruit character and well-rounded wine. After pressing, the juice settled in a stainless-steel tank for 48 hours at 12-14° Celsius before the clear juice was racked into French oak barrels. Each barrel was inocculated with a different yeast strain. A third of the wine was fermented with natural yeasts to ensure a softer wine with complexity. The barrels used for Mrs. English were composed of 40% new, 40% second fll, and 20% third fill. The wine was then sulphured and left to mature in barrels for 12 months, with bâttonage performed every week.
